Just done a bit of research....

So yet another FB.

Pep isn't the best at choosing FB's is he? He must have spent about £500m on them since he took over. xD

It all makes sense. He has all the qualities Pep would want in a full back and Man City have been operating with effectively no natural left wing back for four seasons given how much of a liability Bernard Mendy has been and the debate over whether Zinchenko operates better in midfield.

Tbh Zinchenko playing as a LWB/LCM hybrid worked very well for City. 

Was hoping Gallagher could have a similar role with us when the likes of Chilwell and James need a rest.

TBH, I'm just glad Brighton are getting significantly weakened. Drags them back into the mix.

Losing Bissouma, probably Cucurella, and I'm here for it.

This is such a "narrative". Danilo was a bit shite and Mendy... the less said the better for a variety of reasons... but Walker has been strong for them, Cancelo has been one of the best full backs in the league since joining and Zinchenko has been more than adequate in his time there as well.

It's becoming a bit obsessive this need to mention how much more City spend than Liverpool at every opportunity. Everyone already knows. It's such an odd discourse how (and this is everyone to be honest) people get almost as worked up and determined to win arguments about how their club has actually spent a bit less than everyone thinks because of net spend this, wage bill that, sell on clause the other, as they do about the good old genres of our right winger is better than yours and that referee cost us this match, etc. I miss the classic battlegrounds. All of these spreadsheets people post trying to win the Best Financial Management Champions League fry my head. xD

The ‘we earned our money’ is a painful one

Not to mention losing their sporting director to Newcastle.

Worth noting that Brighton have one of the smartest owners in the league so I don't think structurally it will be as massive a blow to them as some will think.

But them losing Bissouma and Cucurella does bode well for everyone in midtable.

Zinchenko looks like he's edging closer to an Arsenal move, personal terms the final hurdle.

Very clever signing for Arsenal if they nail it. He can play in a variety of positions which is even more valuable given they can't rely on Tierney for the season, too injury prone. They always seem to go to pot when he isn't there.

Surely you'd have thought this means City are dead confident Cucurella is incoming. Would be very surprised if they didn't pull that move off.

Very good signing for Arsenal, gives them depth in both midfield and at left back. They really ought to be looking at winning the Europa League this season as a minimum
